That is great advice, until the voice in my head becomes my cheerleader! Lately I have had a great cheerleader on my shoulder. Sunday night she urged me to keep running even though it was humid and I felt every painful step. Last night she encouraged me to charge up a hill that is always my nemesis. I like her this week!

I felt myself slacking again towards the end of last week. I shoke it off Saturday and got back out there.

Sat- 15 mile ride
Sun- 20 minute run (oh it was awful)
Mon- 18 mile ride and I kicked the above hill's butt!! The hill isn't that big, it is just long and gradual. I often find my speed dropping from 16 mph to 9 mph on the hill. Last night I was able to keep my speed heading over the hill around 14 mph. I won last night.
Today- Rest
Tomorrow- 20-25 min run (I am committing myself to it in front of all TE)

I am back on WW to counter the weight and back in the right mind to conquer the activity. It is still hard and I have a lot of work to do before the Turkey Trot, but now I am determined.
